We've got loads as well - I spend my evenings rescuing the ones that have flown into the house and putting them outside again - I've no idea why - I just feel sorry for them! Also dd1 is *terrified* of them, so I have to get rid of any she comes across indoors as well. I keep telling her they aren't spiders but a sort of big fly and are completely harmless, although I've no idea what their actual genus is. I was wondering about their life cycle - I have this vague idea that they only live for a short time, but may be completely wrong - does anyone know?

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Here's a web site all about daddy long legs, their real name being Crane flies. And yes, they are flies, not spiders. http://www.vom.com/sec/crane.htm Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
